Clearly, Croatia is full of promising young players promising a great career in Europe. As an example, we can cite the case of Josko Gvardiol, revealed in the colors of Dinamo Zagreb, performing well upon his arrival in Leipzig and transferred for a record sum to Manchester City this summer after only two seasons spent in Germany. Now, it is Luka Vušković’s turn to claim to experience a rise similar to that of his elder.
At only 16 years old, Luka Vušković performs for Hadjuk Split. Coming from the 2007 generation, the Croatian defender, capable of playing both in the center and as a guard, made his professional debut last February at the age of 16, thus becoming the youngest in the history of the country to play in the first division. In the process, the player trained in Split gradually established himself as a starter and even if he only made 10 appearances (1 goal) during the previous year, the player trained in Split was quick to tap into the eye of European leaders.
Despite the interest of Paris Saint-Germain, Luka Vušković gives his preference to Tottenham!
A few months after signing his first professional contract, linking him to Hadjuk Split until June 2026, the recent winner of the Croatian Cup was announced in the sights of Manchester City but also Paris Saint-Germain. In search of defensive reinforcements for the coming season, the capital club has long believed to close the deal by obtaining the agreement of Hadjuk Split for a transfer around €10.5 million with a percentage on the resale of 20%. To the great dismay of the Ile-de-France residents, the Croatian nugget will continue his progress in England, near Tottenham.
According to The Evening Standard, Tottenham got ahead of their competitors by holding intense negotiations with the 16-year-old’s representatives over the weekend. Excited by the idea of taking a new step, Luka Vušković was more seduced by the Lilywhites. If the exact amount of the transaction as well as the duration of the contract have not been disclosed by the British media, Luka Vušković will have to wait since he will be authorized to join England once he reaches the age of majority. In the meantime, the Croatian jewel will confirm the expectations placed on him with the Hadjuk Split.
